The Pyramids first, which in Egypt were laid;
Next Babylon's Gardens, for Amytis made;
Then Mausolos' Tomb of affection and guilt;
The Colossus of Rhodes, cast in brass, in the Sun;
Sixth, Jupiter's Statue, by Phidias done;
The Pharaos of Egypt comes last, we are told,
Or the Palace of Cyrus, cemented with gold.
